Large hail pelted parts of Tennessee on Wednesday 8 May, as strong storms slammed the state killing at least 2 people.
One storm that rumbled across northeastern Tennessee brought high winds that knocked down power lines and trees.
Bob Brooks, the sheriff in Claiborne County – about an hour north of Knoxville – said a 22-year-old man was in a car when he was fatally struck by one of the trees.
A second person was killed in the city of Columbia in Maury County, where the National Weather Service said a likely tornado had touched down.
Columbia is just south of Nashville.
